I’m sure Newcastle would have had Rene back and airport there too, people (Rene) can say what they won’t or would do but can think differently later on. I thought Rasmus did ok last time, hopefully we’ll hear an end of season speech from him again lol. Looking forward to March..

The suspenders are killing me

Mason had a good end of season and showed that when he gates he’s not easy to pass, I’m confident his average won’t be getting worse. He was scoring more points away too.

Yeh only 15, but agreement has been reached with him and his family, he’ll formally sign in Feb. Didn’t quote Jenga properly, oops.

Glad Kyles signed, there were rumours that he was off elsewhere. Not every team has to have a rider under 3 this season though so it’ll be tougher than last year would have been for him. Still think he’ll be fine though.

No bother Marra, info off er indoors.

On Twitter Comets have wished everyone a Merry Christmas and have said there’ll be more team news before New Year.

So Matt’s gone to Edinburgh as reserve, hope Laura and co have something up their sleeve. News before Christmas? Good luck Matt.

Mason Compton is the latest signing, welcome back oops bit late.

Yeh, FB, announcing at 8pm

Comets naming next signing on Tues night followed by another on Wednesday.

I ca't see Kyle returning, he's popular at Sheffield and it's a lot nearer to his home in the Manchester area. I would't blame Laura if she sold him but for a decent price. He improved his average every season with the Comets.

I was at at a meeting where the idea was put forward that fans should donate a fixed figure per month to keep the club running, apparently this works at Edinburgh. A lot put their hands up but had second thoughts, Later it was said any donation would do. I personally know some people who are part of this scheme, I’m not. It’s not good to see fans arguing, leave that to Berwick lol.

First visit today, was hoping for rider news, something this week?

Good signing, seems to have been common knowledge that he was Comets bound. Good to have it confirmed.

Would like to see Charles back, a lot., thought he'd signed for Redcar,, late could be wrong...... and Ricky,. think Mason will be. Hope the announcement will be a new rider.

Matt has tweeted that hes available and no club has contacted him

Cheers both, think I do remember seeing that now.

I hope Bickley signs but there are no restrictions on team building in the Championship so this must mean that there will be no 2pt riders.

I go too, and will enjoy them if the racings good, I think it's one of the reasons some stay away, though not the main one. Just my opinion.

Agree with all of that, hopefully with a competitive team, no doubling up and no prospect of having only 6 riders for more than half the fixtures will get fans back. We could do without meaningless fixtures at the end of the season too, as you say Laura deserves support.

Weeighhh....happy and wfie jigging round the room They just needed livening up.... lol

Just looked at the AGM statement again which states "All promoters left the meeting with great enthusiasm towards the 2018 season" not all promoters who attended. I said at the time that I was surprised we got good news so quickly. I hope Laura and co are managing to put something together for an announcement soon, Scunthorpe already have their team sorted while we have been stuck at the gate.

Already been said that the stadium has been used on Saturdays for other things too. If we could only guarantee dry Saturdays for speedway...

Don't suppose there's any chance of an appeal to the SCB,......................................... yeah I know, silly question. Complete farce regarding Scunthorpe following the Holder controversy. Like everyone says independent running of speedway needed.
